5 Attractive Cake Packaging Ideas That Bring Functionality and Elegance Together


Packaging is one of the most important aspects of a product of any kind in the modern competitive world. A product has to look good on the outside to attract people towards it and boost sales for the manufacturer. Cakes are no different in this regard and they must be presented in attractive, elegant and functional packaging that not only makes them sell more from the shelves but also offers adequate protection and also keeps the cakes fresh for as long as possible. Cakes are packaged in a lot of different ways, here are a few significant ones that combine attractive elegance with functionality:


Packaging for the Yearly Events
Popular events like Halloween, Christmas, New Year or Easter are spread all around the year and repeat every year around the same timeframes. When presenting gifts to the loved ones of these events or occasions, cakes present a very good option, but they have to be packaged in just the suitable way for them to look event appropriate. Adding wrapping paper in custom designs is always an option but when you have packaging boxes shaped and printed with appropriate Halloween, Christmas or New Year’s designs, the end result will be truly appreciative.



Packaging for Birthdays and Celebrations
Birthday and other celebrations like anniversaries or general parties usually involve cake gifting on them. You can make your cakes look very much the part by having them in birthday or exact celebration themes that you are presenting them on. A birthday cake, for example, can have packaging with personal messages on it or even images of birthday parties to set just the right tone for the event and anniversary cakes can have packaging that is full of love and highlights love for each other in the most elegant way possible. 



Minimal Attractive Packaging
Elegance is in minimalism and there is no denying that. Yet, minimalistic packaging designs have to be suitable for the exact type of product they are packaging. For cakes, you can have a dark coloured cake shaped minimal boxes that are just in the shape of the cakes either round or whatever shape the cake is in and additionally can have different but not too bright coloured stripe(s) on the bottom side to add a bit of colour to the whole packaging. Other minimal ideas are welcomed as well and can add attractive elegance to your cake products in order to make them sell faster.

Unique Age Appropriate Packaging
Another great feature you cake packaging can have is the age-appropriate designs for them. Younger children like their own designs based on cartoon characters, superheroes or Barbie dolls depending on their gender and preferences, of course, teenagers will like vehicles and music-themed cakes and their packaging and adults will be more inclined towards plain elegant looking cakes with similar packaging boxes. When you have cakes that are age appropriate like a batman cake for the kids, a car cake for a teenager or a sweet tasty elegant ice cream cake for the adults, designing similar looking both in terms of their shapes and colour packaging is a very attractive and elegant idea.


Clear Window Cake Packaging
Cakes are beautiful, as much as they are selected on how they taste, they are selected on how they look as well. Hiding their beautiful designs behind packaging material is not always ideal. When you have much attractive packaging that presents its own design to the customers, you can have fully covered packaging, but when you want to keep the packaging as less embellished and most inexpensive, the need for clear window boxes becomes evident. People are able to see the actual cakes through the clear windows and almost forget about the packaging designs and additionally, these are some of the cheapest options available. 

If you are planning to sell your cakes commercially, Boxes with Windows Wholesale are one of the best options because of their cheaper price points and very functional design languages. Choose your boxes carefully, they will help you sell more cakes.
